Area 451

AND THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS‘Fahrenheit 451’ Democrats:"Didn’t Will Ferrell’s hilarious portrayals of President George W. Bush as childlike and confused change public opinion of our 43rd president? Wasn’t Seth Green swaying voters when he impersonated Vice President Al Gore as a dry, droning bore? Wasn’t Darrell Hammond enforcing a certain kind of perception of Bill Clinton when he presented the president as a lusty, smirking cad?

The answer is yes, yes, yes and yes. That’s what free speech gives Americans the power to do — mock, provoke, challenge and persuade. “Saturday Night Live” has a constitutional right to do so, but the Democrats’ amendment would allow Congress to ban the show. ...In Ray Bradbury's novel "Fahrenheit 451,"--the temperature at which "book paper" auto-ignites--Capt. Beatty, who is the chief book-burner, said, "If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none." That same sentiment was expressed by the Obama Administration, which told the Supreme Court in 'Citizens United' that, in its view, Congress could ban books."--Sen. Ted Cruz

Of course, you don't have to censor when you can get others to self-censor:

"Hillary Clinton's idea that we have to see the world from our adversaries' point of view — and even "empathize" with it — is not new. Back in 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain said, "I have realized vividly how Herr Hitler feels." Ronald Reagan, however, made sure our adversaries understood how we felt. Reagan's approach turned out a lot better than Chamberlain's." And Granny Clinton's, the Consumptive Nominee
